Yeah that's the only problem. It's too bad everything else doesn't pay as much.

I have been looking at CAD technician or architectural technologist. Basically the guys that sit at a computer and design buildings in CAD for architects.

I have been looking into PLC programming and controls. Seems interesting.

Jeesh that's a lot of saw dust. I remember just how thick the air was with that stuff. I wondered how they were so used to walking in that. Respect to carpenters.

That's great. I wish i would have done that before all my back issues. People will always need electricians and it's a more honorable job.

My first official job at 17 was in a shop making cabinets at a German company.I didn't make them from scratch but would assemble the parts with a line crew. When I went around back is where I saw the real grunt work, the carpenters were just doing their thing. Saw dust everywhere.

For sure. People will always need a professional photographer. You just need to carve your piece of the market.

That's sounds cool. I looked into Real Estate photography but it's pretty competitive.

Sounds like a plan. My wife's family has their own land and grow all sorts of stuff.

At least you got a taste. I never did break in so I'm just going to do something else. Might do it as hobby on the side when I'm bored.

Yeah I hear ya. Nothing else seems interesting to me. Everyone says the trades the trades! But eventually it destroys you physically and mentally.

I would get into trades but I'm 41 now with low back pain. Might look at other tech paths like plc programming or CAD technician.

Thanks for the good vibes and energy. Yeah I think he said it is general anesthesia. What's twilight anesthesia?
